The Fate Or Destiny

Eps. 8. Start Challenged

Benaya was arranging the bottle of drink he just bought into the refrigerator.

"Good day, Mr. Ben..."

There was a sound from the tiny terrace in front of the house. Benaya rushed forward.

"Oh Josh..."

Benaya opened the door and went straight back into the dining room to finish storing his drinking bottle, the refrigerator he had not closed earlier. Josh followed from behind.

"Sit Josh..."

"Good thanks, sir."

"When did you get here?"

"It's been two days, sir, but I've been with Rolly to her village..."

"Rolly?"

"One of our staff, he's from here, sir."

"Oh. How many people from our office are coming?"

"For now the three of us sir, I'm Rolly and Elijah. Francien and Hapsari will follow next week."

"There's a female staff?"

"Yes sir. 2 people from the finance division."

"You know the HRD over there is changing all the men, I don't like female staff, like to be troublesome."

"Well, sir, it's Mr. Nicolaas' own arrangement, all the central staff are down..."

"Ac.. shi*t... Where do you get accommodation?"

"Here all, this complex is already rented to the central staff of the pack. I was right in front of the pack, I used the house alone because my wife and son were about to follow. Rolly and Elijah occupy the house beside me, Francien and Hapsari at the very end..."

"Oh... So in my row is this empty?"

"Yes.prepared when there is an addition of staff from the center or any visit from the center."

"Good... Josh, set Elijah up as my secretary. Tell Mr. Boy, I don't like the secretary they chose."

"Well sir..is there something I need to do?"

"Have you seen the office here?"

"Already sir, when I arrived here yesterday I immediately asked to be delivered to the office."

"The place we work is ready, right?"

"Not yet, he said waiting for you..."

"Where it has come down, the technical affairs should have been prepared? What's the office like?"

"Ruko sir. 3 floors. Sir.. his office is still empty, there is no activity."

"Jeez... What kind of sub contractor is our partner...? Mmmh... You see, you ready one of the empty houses for our base while, I do not want to bother what the office here like, our time must go down to take care of it. Tomorrow we start working here first, I'll see how they start in that office..."

Benaya looks riled up, the first day is amazing. He became curious how Sinar Jaya could escape becoming a partner.

"Oh. good sir. Rolly's house with Elijah's living room the same dining room there is no bulkhead..."

"You just set it up, the room they can use. they single do not need much room..."

"Yes sir. If there is no addition of staff, they both move to the house next to the father.where know you sometimes need someone, not too far..."

"Yes. Eh... You know the way here? I need to go to the supermarket..."

"No, sir, but Rolly would know."

"Okay. Now we go..."

"Well... I call Rolly first... use my car or father's car?"

"Oh... How many cars do we have?"

"5 units sir..."

"Most of it. 2 is quite actually, it's unnecessary spending..."

"There are 22 units rented, it looks like 17 units were used. Yesterday at the office, I observed a little..."

"Well... Crazy what...?"

"It's a bit excessive because the average expensive car rented, operational cars should be standard..."

He knows why he needs to be here. Boss Nico had a reason, and he was already starting to be challenged to clear things up unnecessarily. Just a few hours have begun to smell something unnatural, maybe something is wrong here. Ben wondered why this sub-contractor was chosen.

"Sir... Which car?"

"Your car..."

"Okay.I wait in front..."

"Rol... go down. have them move their car, it's the side door of the frame open..."

"Well, Josh..."

Rolly came down and headed for the side door of the blue-painted shophouse. Benaya lifted her head from her phone, caught the shadow of a woman standing in front of the door, a woman with red blemishes, all her hair wrapped in green cloth, wearing red plastic boots. The woman was talking to Rolly. It didn't sound like anything in the car. Benaya looked back at her phone.

"Sorry, wait a minute, my sister's still in the bathroom..."

"Wahh.. My boss is in a hurry..."

"Oh. ya already... I put down the gallon of water first, just one kok. after that I just pulled back the car..."

"The hunt is mbak..."

Rolly went back and got in the car.

In the car...

"Rol..why don't you help lift the gallon..."

"He didn't ask for help..."

Raising his head again and seeing the unusual sight, a woman hugged a gallon of water, as if lightly carrying a fairly heavy load. He smiled slightly, very faintly, remembering his sister who would definitely scream for help if the water in the dispenser ran out.

His eyes returned to the phone.

"People are that girl too..."

Josh said as the pick-up car moved backwards.

Benaya again piqued, slightly catching the silhouette of the head wrapped in green cloth inside the car that moved backwards.

"It's not a girl, it's a child's widow 2..."

"Well, there's a direct update someone's status here.. hehehe..."

"Deliberately Mr. Josh. Denger from Denny..."

Maybe the little girl's mom. What's-her-name... Lisya... Yica.

Benaya remembered the greeting of the little girl with narrow eyes...

Om, beyi what? Beyi pucha? ... Seems like he's still very young, already a widow? Two sons? And... what do you care, Benaya???

Benaya shook his head inexplicably expelling his thoughts. Ever since her sister died, she has been sensitive to the story of a widow with two children.

The car enters an area...

"There's a mall?"

"Yes sir... This Manado Town Sq... There are 4 malls here, this is the biggest one..."

Rolly answered the boss.

The feeling of the boss Manado deh...what is the long time not to go home?

Benaya laughed inwardly to herself who looked too lightly at her hometown. When assigned here he still imagines this city is still the same as 17 years ago... it seemed like he was too cynical with the city and the area of his own ancestors.

The only person to blame for why Benaya was so antipathy and lost his sense of this waving nyiur area, was probably that of papa Fredrik. In the past he still liked to follow his parents in Kawanua activities, after starting to grow up, whenever people praised his special physique, handsome abisss, his father always said, again looking for Manado's son-in-law. At first Ben thought it was a joke, it turned out his papa was serious. So the dislike of participating in all events smelling Manado began to exist and long ago thickened into antipathy.

Rolly's chosen parking area is the back of the mall, right on the beach. The island or mountain of Manado Tua is clearly visible from here.

"Where's the supermacket area?"

"At Mantos One pack.we go left..."

"I'm not long...just buy toiletries and some daily necessities, you guys want to come with me or have your own needs?"

'We'll come along, sir.is there a need for toiletries as well..."

"Good..."

The first day here was like there was a new passion springing up in Ben's heart, he loved the challenge and he started to feel there was that in the days that followed. Maybe he'll enjoy his life here. What will happen then. who knows.
